Pam, we are in agreement. Except the "cowboy". I'm still trying to
hang on to my mythological heros and role models. Luckily no
politician and damn few Hollywood types have screwed around with
"Mountain Man". I suppose we know what we are talking about when we
call Bush and Regan "cowboys", but it isn't the same as "my heroes have
always been" and my "mama" didn't let me "grow up to be". Can you see
Regan or Bush in "High Noon"? (Maybe as one of the bad guys...a minor
one.)
Mrs. Callan prefers me in my cowboy role...though she wouldn't admit
it...she doesn't like my roles in general. Don't think she's aware of
Mountain Man...he's kind of a nasty tempered loner...maybe she just
doesn't like him. Not many do.
